CAGLIARI, SARDINIA

Today, we arrived at our penultimate port-of-call, Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia (pronounced cal-ee-ar-lee). No surprises; it was very hot again, and when we stepped off the boat, it was with no particular plan in mind. We decided we would wing it (mostly because we were still tired from yesterdays walk). Because there is no pedestrian movement allowed within the...

IN THE IONIAN SEA

Today, we were back at sea, on our way towards our next port of call, Syracuse, in Sicily. We’ve left the Aegean Sea and are now in the Ionian Sea. It’s been very windy all day, and the sea has been quite choppy. In fact, I would say that this is the first time – certainly once we’d left the...
